Data updated · May 22, 2026
Express Car Washes are the backbone of Merced's car wash supply.
An express tunnel is the conveyor-belt wash: you stay in the car, ride through a tunnel of soft-cloth and foam, then pull into free self-serve vacuum stalls. Fast, cheap per wash, and built around unlimited monthly memberships.
Express tunnels are for frequent washers who want speed and value — a 3-to-5-minute wash and an unlimited membership that makes washing weekly nearly free. It's the dominant modern format for a reason.
